Dominic.
My stomach twisted.
He wasn't doing anything. He just stood there, with his hands in his pockets, watching me with that calm expression.
That look that always made me nervous.
His hair caught the glow of the hospital lights, and for a second I forgot how to breathe.
God, why did he have to look like that right now?
Because Blake's voice was still in my head…"The Glass Circle might be the reason the Coil's after you. They might be the ones who assaulted that woman on the highway."
I loved him. I knew I did.
His laugh, his warmth, the way I felt when he touched me…no one else made me feel like that. But now all I could think was: What if he's really the person Blake warned me about?
I felt caught between wanting to run straight into his arms and wanting to bolt the other way.
Instead, I just stood there, frozen on the other side of the glass doors, staring like some awkward teenager.
My fingers tightened around my phone.
Say something, my brain screamed.
